Performance

Version 2.0 has some major speed improvements. WP Cypher mentioned how slow Custom Login was making some admin pages. The plugin no longer makes multiple feed calls and heavy JS calls.

Measured this plugin is now 140% faster!

Everything that can be cached is, either with transients or wp_cache. This includes the custom CSS and JS generated by the plugins settings.

Settings API

2.0 is now using the WordPress settings API and a custom wrapper class that will allow add-ons to be created. A few example add-ons are as follows:

Great plugin. I love the idea that you are going to add the ability to style the submit button in a future version. hope that comes soon as that is the only thing you can’t style directly in the admin now.

Also I noticed something else that you should do. the styling I applied to the text inside the login box doesn’t get applied if I go to register or the forgot password actions.

Styles applied to the text below the login box stay there for all 3 (login, register, forgot password) but the styles to text inside the login box don’t.
